Today's milling

[Rough Hewn]

That's true[emoji1] 
This was an absolute nightmare because the grain goes in all directions.  Found that on a wide bar it would actually force the bar to bend down because the way the grain went! Ended up with a bow in the bar of about 20mm over a 60 or 70 inch bar. That was before I lost the teeth as well!
Anyone else had this?

I’ve had problems with bar flex with the 84”.
It’s not the grain.
If the teeth aren’t perfect, it goes wrong.
Very wrong.[emoji22]
Especially inclusions yiu cut through without realising.
Yiu think the woods really hard, push more...
Bendy bar and crooked boards[emoji22]

I was there with that last year on a small hardwood clear fell, we went one morning with one edge tree left to tip in, put gob in then started back cut and hit metal trashed 7 chains on one tree and 4 of then i had sharpened night before, when we could see what it was it was a old wrought iron victorian tree guard the ones with the half inch round bar, the tree had just grown round it,

Shit. I take it you had to cut above and leave a stump?

Very good timber gentlemen! Keep up the superb milling!

From logosol i expect or davis implements (dealers) in Gods greatest place WALES [emoji16]

Davies is where I ordered my F2+ ES8 etc. I was told everything was in stock except the ES8 so paid on 17/18th December. A week + later I chased them up just to see if it had been shipped.

“oh we don’t have any of it in stock”

Really nice friendly people but very unorganised was my experience. Of course I can’t speak for any experience but mine.

When you cut a board on your mill how much do you give extra for the final product? Say you want a 40mm finished board, do you cut say 55mm?

Mostly I just cut everything at 55mm if it’s a slab. Really wide stuff about 80mm+.
